Seventy-one Year Old Ms. Sun Guozhen Has Died Due to Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Sun Guozhen from Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province was 71 years old. She kept cultivating and was arrested and detained many times by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lawless officials as a result. She died on November 2nd, 2005.

Ms. Sun Guozhen went to Beijing to tell the facts of Falun Dafa to people who had been misled by the government propaganda in April 2000. She was arrested and detained in the Shuangcheng City Second Detention Centre for more than a month. She was transferred to a brainwashing centre for a month because she firmly held onto her faith. On January 17th, 2001, she was carried from her home and taken to another brainwashing centre for several months. She was tortured severely there, by methods such as having to sleep on a wet, cold cement floor. As a result she displayed stroke symptoms. They also tortured her by tying her to a chair, slapping her face, and kicking her legs.

Ms. Sun Guozhen's heart disease recurred due to the inhuman torture she received in the brainwashing centre, and she almost died. Led by CCP Shuangcheng City Committee Secretary Zhu Qingwen and the 610 Office¹, several hundred Falun Dafa practitioners were locked in the brainwashing centre, and the detention centres were also filled with practitioners. On January 21st, 2001, Ms. Sun Guozhen and 79 fellow practitioners were sent to forced labour. Ms. Sun was sent to the local CCP School in May, 2001. She passed out soon after entering the labour camp. Her family was very angry at the mistreatment she received, and she was released after being extorted of four hundred yuan².

In the spring of 2003, Ms. Sun Guozhen was reported while posting some Falun Dafa banners. The local police extorted three hundred yuan again. Her physical condition started getting worse and worse due to the constant harassment and mistreatment. She died on November 2nd, 2005.
